ACPI bugs on boot possibly preventing the machine to go to sleep

[FowMoureAG]

Hi all!

I have a problem with ACPI at startup. I was hoping upgrading to LM 20.1 would solve this, but that did not magically happen...
So I am writing here for advices!
At boot, I see a glance of ACPI errors. Another strange behaviour is that when I close the screen (my computer is a Dell Laptop Precision 5530), the system does not go to sleep - which may cause overheating if I put it in a bag.
Here is a description of the bug, given by the command inxi -F && dmesg | grep -i error:

Welcome to the forum, FowMoureAG.

I have a problem with ACPI at startup. I was hoping upgrading to LM 20.1 would solve this, but that did not magically happen...

What is the problem? Those messages are commonly seen and usually are not the source of any problems. They are usually resolved by BIOS/UEFI updates, so check to see if you have the most recent one.

Another strange behaviour is that when I close the screen (my computer is a Dell Laptop Precision 5530), the system does not go to sleep - which may cause overheating if I put it in a bag.

Open the Power Managerment app. Check under "Power Settings: When lid closed" and let us know if it is set to "Suspend".

Your computer has a rather new processor and graphics and would probably benefit by using the 5.8 kernel. You can update to it in Update Manager.

Open Update Manager. Select View > Linux Kernels and click Continue. Make sure 5.8 is selected on the left panel and then click the top-most option on the right panel. An "Install" button will appear. Install the kernel and then reboot for it to become active.

In addition, it appears you have not yet installed the Nvidia driver for your dual-graphics computer (Intel & Nvidia). Are there any options showing in Driver Manager?

Graphics: Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel
Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GLM [Quadro P1000 Mobile] driver: N/A

Thank you for welcoming me and your swift reply,

There is no problem other problem for me with these messages, unless they are linked with the suspend malfunction. I tried to update the BIOS, but it seemed to be up-to-date.

Open the Power Managerment app. Check under "Power Settings: When lid closed" and let us know if it is set to "Suspend".

Your computer has a rather new processor and graphics and would probably benefit by using the 5.8 kernel. You can update to it in Update Manager.

It was set to "Suspend" (I checked that beforehand), and I updated to 5.8 kernel. The problem seems to persist. Is there a way to log what happens to the system when I shut the lid?

In addition, it appears you have not yet installed the Nvidia driver for your dual-graphics computer (Intel & Nvidia). Are there any options showing in Driver Manager?

In fact it was installed but disabled (for energy optimization).

Thanks again!

What exactly did you do to "disable" it?

The standard Mint install installs the nvidia-prime-applet which gives you the capability to switch between the Intel graphics and the Nvidia graphics depending on your need. If you need energy optimization, you switch to using the Intel graphics. When you need the capability of Nvidia, you switch to using Nvidia. In both of the cases, the Nvidia driver is listed in inxi information. It is never listed as N/A.

It is possible whatever you did to "disable" the Nvidia driver is contributing to the suspend problem because the graphics drivers are involved in the suspend process.

[FowMoureAG]

Thank you for your help (and sorry for not having replied sooner).

I do (and did) have the nvidia-prime-applet installed. I had choosen the setting "Intel (energy conservation)". I changed that to "NVIDIA on demand", and inxi -F answers:

Code: Select all

Graphics:
  Device-1: Intel UHD Graphics 630 driver: i915 v: kernel 
  Device-2: NVIDIA GP107GLM [Quadro P1000 Mobile] driver: nvidia  v: 450.102.04 
  Display: x11 server: X.Org 1.20.9 driver: modesetting,nvidia unloaded: fbdev,nouveau,vesa resolution: 1920x1080~60Hz 
  OpenGL: renderer: Mesa Intel UHD Graphics 630 (CFL GT2) v: 4.6 Mesa 20.2.6
  

So the nvidia driver shows up. But the suspend problem persists. I don't know what to do next.

[SMG]

The suspension of the computer due to closing the lid relies on the lid switch working properly, so it is possible this might be a mechanical issue.

At least one other person noticed when they upgraded to LM20.1 the computer stopped suspending Suspend/Hybernate doesn't work anymore after 20.1 upgrade, but if the person opened a terminal and ran pm-suspend the computer did suspend. You could check that as well as checking if the menu option to suspend works.

Is there a way to log what happens to the system when I shut the lid?

Several logs run in the background all the time. One log to check is /var/log/syslog which is a text file and has timestamps for each line.
